A background remover that works in your browser
Detailed transparent edges
Hair-safe edge refinement preserves softer portrait edges and fine strands, while Product mode keeps hard edges crisp.
Simple PNG downloads
Compare the original and edited image, download one transparent PNG, or export a completed batch as a ZIP file.
HOW IT WORKS
Remove a background in three steps
1. Add your image
Drag a JPG, PNG, or WebP file into the dropzone above, or tap Choose images. Free users edit one image at a time; Pro unlocks a batch queue.
2. Let the AI cut it out
The background remover model loads in your browser and separates the subject from the background. The first run can take a little longer while the model downloads.
3. Download a transparent PNG
Compare the result with the original, then save it as a PNG with a transparent background, ready to place on any color, photo, or design.

QUICK ANSWERS
Background remover FAQ
Is it really free?
Yes. The Free plan removes the background from one image at a time at no cost. Clearcut Pro adds batch processing and ZIP downloads.
Are my images uploaded?
Not in the standard modes: they run on your own device, so your photos are not sent anywhere. Pro's Best hair mode uses secure cloud processing, and only after you agree. Read the privacy policy for details.
Why PNG?
The PNG format supports an alpha channel, so the removed background stays transparent instead of turning white. More answers are on the FAQ page.
